Glow plugs only make starting easier for diesels. If you put the vehicle in a warm location and let it sit overnight, it should start even without glow plugs if the engine isn't too cold. Make certain that you are getting fuel to the injector pump assembly. With someone cranking the engine, loosen the fuel inlet at the injector pump and see if you have any fuel pressure to the high-pressure injector pump. If not, check the filter and low pressure pump.
